Summary

The hardback edition of Shattered Sonnets became something of a cult classic in the poetry world Readers and teachers have been waiting for the paperback edition for years The paperback is timed to appear with Kalytiak Davis’s first new book in a decade Shattered Sonnets is wickedly funny, full of audaciously inappropriate twists and playfully self-deprecating humor Critics have praised Davis for reinventing the confessional poem In Shattered Sonnets, readers witness the creation of a new style, an unremittingly intense, delirious, sometimes deranged adventure that’s equal parts wild, postmodern experiment and ecstatic psychological self-portrait Shattered Sonnets is a corpse-reviving cocktail of verbal pyrotechnics and irreverent humor… and a book of serious depth and nuance
Available since: 09/01/2015.
